There are 3 sections: UTILITIES, BONUS PROGRAMS and FINANCIAL PROGRAMS. Individual .DOC files are provided for each program containingmore details. In addition, each program has built-in help screens. This is a complete and current list of all programs available from this author. The dollar amounts mentioned in each descriptionare the suggested registration fees, not the cost to you. The Bonus programs have no registration fee: BUS, SETCOL, etcSee ORDER.FRM for sampler disk prices. None of the programs on the sampler disk have the "counted-use"registration incentive.

All programs are compatible with Windows, DR-DOS and Novell networks,and require DOS 3.0 or higher.

===================== UTILITIES =====================

RDIR: DISK USE PIE CHART

CGA, EGA, or VGA. Navigate around your disk by selecting & examining directories from the list on the graphics screen using arrow keys. Or enter drive/directory name from the command line. Latest revision allows deletion of empty directories and the use of directory names with extensions. RFILE can now be run from RDIR to examine the relative size of files in the selected directory. Reviewed in PCM Magazine June 1991 and in the May 1992 issue of COMPUTE. Ver 1.43 $10.00

RFILE: RELATIVE FILE SIZEShows Relative FILE size of all files in the selected directoryin a pie chart. Enter a directory name or extension such as *.TXTon the command line.

STF: SHOW TWO FILES

STF Shows and compares Two ASCII text Files side-by-side. Select filenames from a directory list. Use PageUp & Down, Home,End & Arrow Keys to move around each file independently or together.Differences are "Highlighted" by dimming unequal lines in one file.Optionally ignores spaces in comparison. A single file may be viewedfull width. Searches for and highlights found text. Sliding Centerlinevaries the relative viewing width of each file. Optional VGA graphicsmode. STF was chosen to be included in "DOS 6.0 Power Tools" by BantamBooks. Latest version saves and restores numlock status. Ver 1.45 $10.00

WDN: WIPE DIRECTORY NAMESYou may have dozens of empty directories on your hard drive, taking upvaluable disk space. Typically an empty directory uses 2048 or 4096bytes on a hard drive.WDN will seek out and remove hidden and unused subdirectories with onecommand. If DOS allowed RD *.*/s, you would not need WDN, but RD requiresthat you type in every name. WDN saves you time. Ver 1.20 $5.00

ABOUT THESE PROGRAMS:These programs were written by me to meet a need which was not met by either DOS commands nor by commercially available software. If Norton Utilities or XTREE could do the job, I would use their version before spending the time writing code. These programs are intended to improve productivity and save time. The first utility I wrote was RDIR. The DOS "DIR" command shows the size of Files, but only the name of the Sub-Directories. I wanted to know how big they were to help me decide what was taking up so much disk space.

Several programs have been revised recently in response to customer suggestions. Any program which previously changed the state of the NumLock switch on your keyboard now reads whether NumLock is on or off at the start and restores to the original state on exit. The programs can now deal with directory names which use extensions. The idea of calling RFILE from within RDIR also came from a customer. SETCOL no longer requires that the target program be registered in order for the colors to take effect.

ABOUT SHAREWARE:Shareware is a term to describe software that is distributed on a "Try Before You Buy" basis. It is not "Freeware" nor is it "Public Domain". The price listed on the order form covers only the cost of the time and materials involved in copying the programs. If you find the programs useful, you are expected to register them. If you don't, you are violating the Copyright laws. Registration provides the author with an incentive to write more useful programs to increase your productivity. Support is provided to registered users either online using The Internet or DELPHI networks or via U.S. Mail.You are encouraged to make copies and give them to your friends, or upload the programs to bulletin boards. They must not have been modified, and all documentation must be included. The files which must be included arelisted in each program's help screen or in the README, if supplied.For additional information about registration, see "REGINFO.TXT" at the DOS prompt.

UPGRADE POLICY: Any program for which you have registered an earlier versionwill be supplied on the disk as a registered program. If you were registered for the now discontinued programs ATTR or SFT, your registration has been automatically transferred to SINCE and STFrespectively, as they incorporate the functions of the older programs.To obtain the most recent version of a single program, use the "Single Title:" line on the Order Form.

PRICING: I have tried to make the pricing as flexible as possible. It would be simpler to charge a flat $20.00 for registration, and include a disk with the latest version of the software. But, when you register, typically for $10.00, I send a letter to let you know if it is really worthwhile to upgrade to the latest version. I also include a copy of the latest catalog. If you decide that you need the latest version of the program you registered, you can get it for $3.00 plus the $5.00 S&H. So even if you find you need the latest revision, it only adds up to $18.00. 11/15/93
